The Poop Presents: “Babe” trivia challenge

The Poop’s presentation of “Babe” is coming up this weekend at the Cerrito Speakeasy in El Cerrito (details here), we just read a bunch of articles on the making of the movie and we’re brimming with pig movie minutiae.

No pigs were injured during the making of this film.

Last month’s Muppet Movie trivia proved daunting for some, but we’re showing no mercy here. The questions get harder as they go along — which means things will get really ugly if you turn this into some kind of drinking game. (Get a babysitter first.)

If you score between six and nine, you have a healthy knowledge of “Babe.” If you get 10 or more correct, then you’re a porcine cinema badass. Good luck!
